Snapshot: The big bar with the unmistakable firehouse theme has been drawing sports fans, poker fans and fans of live music to Walzem Road for almost a decade.

Who goes there: “We get people from all over,” said general manager Javad Rahaei. “We also have a lot of regulars.” And yes, Rahaei said the pub draws its share of firefighters. “All those patches on the wall? They're from firemen.”

Behind the bar: Full-service bar offers a variety of beer, including Newcastle, on tap; more than three dozen bottled beers; wine and plenty of liquor. There are alcohol and food specials daily beginning at 4 p.m.

Soundtrack: Internet jukebox means patrons can punch up everything from Billy Joel to heavy metal. Live music is the draw Fridays and Saturdays with local favorites including Ernie Garibay & Cats Don't Sleep and Lisa Marie Sharp.

Fun and games: With more than 20 TV sets, one a whopping 120-incher, it's almost impossible to miss a point, a lap or a punch. For those who want to participate, there are darts on Tuesdays, trivia on Wednesdays, karaoke Thursdays, a shuffleboard table, bar-top video games and three poker tournaments a night beginning at 6.
